Question

Claremont Company specializes in selling refurbished copiers. During the month, the company sold 220 copiers for total sales of $836,000. The budget for the month was to sell 215 copiers at an average price of $4,000. The sales price variance for the month was:

Answer 1

$44,000 Unfavourable

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the above information, sales price variance is computed as

= (Actual sales price - Standard/Budgeted sales price) × Actual units sold

Actual sales price = $836,000/220 = $3,800

Standard sales price = $4,000

Actual units sold = 220

= ($3,800 - $4,000) × 220

= $44,000 Unfavourable

The above is unfavourable sales price variance because you can sell the copier at a higher price of $4,000 than the actual price of $3,800
